CFP: Association for Medical Humanities Annual Conference

Submissions are invited but not limited to the conference themes. These themes are:

how the humanities can contribute to the treatment of individuals whose health is compromised and/or sustain well-being, including for practitioners as patients.

how the written word can help patients, practitioners, families and the general public understand states of health, experiences of acute/chronic disease, disability and ageing.

how a study of historical events can inform our understanding of present health issues and guide us about future clinical practice and policy.

how can the humanities assist practitioners in becoming more culturally sensitive particularly to displaced individuals, and in considering the impact on patients and clinicians of migrating into a different cultural environment.
